    Dr. Felix Spiegel, Houston Tx.

    I had my surgery done by Dr. Spiegel on Feb 22nd, 2008 at the University General Hospital. It went really well and I haven't had any problems with it. The hospital is state of the art healthcare and treats you very good. I have lost close to 70 pounds so far and I have about about another 70 to go. I have had 4 fills so far. I have a bigger band then most so it will take more fills to get to the point were I need to be. Mine takes up to 11CC. I believe that Spiegel is the most experienced doctor out there and is very helpful in the process. I have not throw up or had any problems, other then mild chest pain due to eating to fast. Let me know if I can answer any of your questions. Chad

    Dr. Spiegel stages?

    He only does surgery on tuesdays and friday so you are close to the same date. Did they give you a time on when your sugery would be? They told me to be there at 6 in the morning and i would find out then...That kind of sucks for family coming over for support. I find the slimfast shakes to be filling so far. Are you outpatient or staying over the night? I will be outpatient and will be coming back the same day. Hope all goes well with your surgery. I'm going to try out the support groups so I may see you there. Chad
